  2. In the Norton product main window, double-click Backup, and then click Backup Sets.

  3. In the Backup Settings window, click Rename if you want to change the name of the backup set.

    In the window that appears, type the new name and click OK.

  4. On the What tab, change the settings to include or exclude file types or their file extensions from your backup set.

  5. On the Where tab, change the settings to modify the destination of your backup set.

  6. On the When tab, change the settings to modify your scheduled backups.
